<p>me too, I’d like a photo of the thick envelope, if possible?</p>
<p>haha omg we’re so lame…
But I wouldn’t mind if someone posted that picture. =)</p>
<p>is there any way to get accepted off a thin envelope?? or are they only using big, thick, 9 x 12 envelopes?</p>
<p>yeah, I think so.
OMG, i just noticed… we started to fill this forum as well with all these anxious/fretting/freaking-out posts all over again…when it is supposed to be “neat and clean” for the next year’s applicants.
Oh well! This is why I love PT forum! SO UNIQUE!! 
I live in Cali, I have a feeling I will get my envelope this MOnday NOOO</p>
<p>Unfortunately, I believe rejects/defers are thin, and accepts are thick and big.</p>
<p>So does Saturday mail come earlier than weekday mail? I know that the post offices close earlier…</p>
<p>Where I live it comes about 3-4 hours earlier on Saturdays.</p>
<p>actually, mine sometimes comes a few hours later. i guess it depends.</p>
<p>My god…I’m dying…why can’t they just put it online? <em>SIGH</em></p>
<p>Can anyone help me out? I’m international, but another person from the exact CITY i live in got his acceptance letter. Does this mean I have been rejected/deferred?</p>
<p>ACCEPTED!!! I am too freaking happy to concentrate/post my stats but I promise they are on the way. :)</p>
<p>congratulations! post a pic of the envelope if you can @_@</p>

<p>congrats! I don’t want to sound rude or ignorant, but does anyone know where pk is?</p>
<p>I hope he’s in a state of extreme euphoria to the point where he can’t type. Otherwise, unfortunately, the most enthusiastic of us has been deferred.</p>
<p>you sound neither rude nor ignorant, rotor! i was wondering the same thing myself…would’ve thought he’d be one of the first on, whatever the decision. maybe something came up or (godforbid) he had a family emergency or something. though i hope it’s just that he’s out celebrating!!!</p>
